Do you like Halloween? I know some people don’t: they turn out their lights, lock up, and go away for the night. But I have always liked Halloween. I looked forward to it when I was a kid and was planning my costume for weeks, and also as a grownup handing out treats to trick-or-treaters. I especially love seeing the excited little ones in their costumes.

For some years, John has been master of ceremonies for the cutest little costume fashion show in the park near his house, and it’s all about the youngest children.

Neighbors everywhere stock up on goodies and hope for a day that’s not too cold or wet. Even come folks in my retirement place put on wigs and costumes, but for me, it’s only Halloween if there are little kids around. My Jack-o-lantern tried its best, but its flashing light didn’t show up in our bright hallway.

More pictures of the season, including a Pumpkin Fest in Concord and a Halloween party in the neighborhood where my older grandson and his sister live.

Today there must have been 40 costumed kids, from infants to 10-year-olds, rolling down the hill, posing for pictures, and eating hotdogs in the playground. After the parade, everyone went down the street to knock on doors looking for treats. (Meran’s treat for my husband and me was homemade potato and leek soup and some very yummy bread.)

John wore his scary fangs and asked a little Yoda if he was tasty to eat.

“This is what I look like,” he explained to friends, “after a week of being up all night with two kids who have fevers.”
